Actually, I'm a little embarrassed to be asking this, but I thought to look today at how many of the thousands of design files I have, and just how many I have actually stitched out. I only have stitched out about 350 design which is less tha 1% of the o

In case you haven't thought of it, now is a fantastic time to back up your computer to an external hard drive! I would have been hysterical if I had not just done that a few days before none of my computers worked. It sure saved me a ton of problems!

After a few weeks of living without my computer, the computer guy from the Geek Squad came yesterday and got all 4 computers working correctly again. I am astounded at the short time it took him to fix everything! He came covered from head to toe (includi

For some odd reason, I can't figure out how to see all of PNW's designs. I login, but can't get past the opening page. I know I've bought from them before and my account is good. Does anyone have any hints for me?

My husband seems to have early stages of Alzheimer's. He's 91 and when he can't find something, he says I took it. Needless to say, it is very upsetting to me and all the logic in the world does not make him change his mind. Does anyone know of

Years ago I had a little gadget that was a wheel with spikes to use to make marks on fabric. Don't recall the name for it, but I haven't seen it in stores. Does anyone know if they are still around?

I've done so many rug jackets with different themes that now that I look back, I wish I had kept some of them for myself...especially this one. It's called, "Mr. Livingston I Presume." I might make a black and gold one for myself when I get around to

I make rag jackets a lot and this is one that was a pull over I made for myself. I've decided to cut it down the middle and make it into a jacket. People will stand and look at the jacket and try to read/see all the things on it, but I prefer that they j

My puppy, Goldilocks, destroys the backing of Teddybear's and Gummybear' beds. I didn't notice when I bought the beds that the backing was not durable. It was just some thin paper like fabric that tears easily. I want to recover the backing so that the
